This was so worth the wait. Declan's text was perfect even if it did start to upset Bailey. The fact that he followed up the text by showing up at the bus moments later made it all the better. It was great seeing the other students go to support the team at the meet, plus they had a good time watching. I think this might be my favorite chapter so far, but that is a tough call since they are all wonderful.
It made my day seeing something new from you. A great addition to an already great story. I don't care how long it takes between chapters as long as I know there is going to be another chapter
Thank you as always tim I should say thank you for another reason. He jokingly complained for a while about being called a soldier until I muzzled and cuffed him. He was happy to have been called a soldier after that.
Thank you tim Trying to put the emotion of different events into words has been fun while I try to learn this and my boy gives me a lot of inspiration to write. Thankfully it wasn't like he was outing himself at the Ball and he is already accepted by the people he serves with. He did want me to make one correction, and he did say since you're Canadian that you're forgiven, lol. He's not a soldier, but a Marine (they can be touchy about that description)
Thank you jp It's going very good with him. Speaking for myself, I'd say the pride is equal knowing that he's wearing my gift to him. I loved that it was under his uniform as well
Nervousness fills me as our carriage rides along,
Not sure what awaits us at the other end.
Will this be a fairytale come true,
Or the unfolding of a grisly horror story?
As we arrive at the palace for the night,
I feel the carriage pull to a stop before the grand doors.
In proper fashion, the driver stands at attention,
As our group exits and bids him good night.
I take the hand of my fellow prince,
And look up into your adoring eye
Not much I can say that others haven't. The fact that you made the effort shows the wonderful person you are. I can't say that I would have tried if I could, but I know I wouldn't be given the option either. Hugz to you!!
Thanks jp I've been having a lot more fun exploring poetry then I thought I would. As much as I like story writing, there is a joy in these mini stories that allow me to explore a thought, mood or experience. If it hadn't been for AC, tim and the rest of you, I wouldn't have had the confidence to try this.
I'm glad you have Mike to anchor you and provide the safety you need when the nightmares hit. You not letting them win shows that you are stronger than you give yourself credit for. Hugz
A cool slime runs through my fingers,
As I deal with my next victim.
At times, it almost seems cruel,
The way I gut one after another without feeling;
Laughing in ghoulish delight as they fall before me.
I reach for my kit of torture implements,
Looking from blade to blade as I make my choice.
Picking up my favorite blade first, I start to cut;
Removing bits of flesh here and there,
While I hold my latest victim in place.
The mutilations I’ve cau
